The Pineapple Perspective
What would you say if we told you that every business is in the hospitality business?
Join Troy Hooper, CEO of Hot Palette America, as he explores what hospitality means in every business with industry leaders. Troy and his guests will tackle how they came to deploy hospitality in their businesses, how it impacts their results, and how they came to understand, adopt, and deploy this mindset and framework. Leveraging Troy’s experience, insight, and straight talk - listeners will walk away with a plan of action that’s right for them.
If you feel you have deployed a unique hospitality tactic to your business, reach out to be a guest.
